"I take care of the earth because I know I can do little things every day to make a BIG difference..."

With his signature blend of playfulness and sensitiviy, Todd Parr explores the important, timely subject of environmental protection and conservation in this eco-friendly picture book. Featuing a circular die-cut Earth on the cover, and printed entirely with recycled materials and nontoxic soy inks, this book includes lots of easy, smart ideas on how we can all work together to make the Earth feel good - from planting a tree and using both sides of the paper, to saving energy and reusing old things in new ways.

Best of all, the book includes an interior gatefold with a poster with tips/reminders on how kids can "go green" everyday. Equally whimsical and heartfelt, this sweet homage to our beautiful planet is sure to inspire readers of all ages to do their part in keeping the Earth happy and healthy.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 4—The narrator states, "I take care of the earth because I know I can do little things every day to make a BIG difference." Parr then offers a practical catalog of simple activities easily managed by even quite young children, followed by clear explanations of how those simple things can have a large impact on the health of our planet. "I use both sides of the paper and bring my own bags to market because…I love the trees and I want the owls to have a place to live." The book is "printed with recycled materials and nontoxic soy inks." The vibrantly colored cartoons with heavy black outlines resemble those a child might create. Useful as an introduction to the subject, this is a bright and cheerful presentation.—Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJ

From Booklist

With illustrations that look as though they might have been done by enthusiastic children themselves, Parr’s book offers first-person advice about ways to take care of the earth. Although the suggestions are fine (“I turn off the faucet while I brush my teeth”) the reasons behind the actions (“because I love the fish”) could use more explanation for such a young audience. The strong appeal comes from the simple artwork done in Parr’s signature style, which features pure colors, objects and people outlined in thick black ink, and kids whose round faces are comprised of two dots for eyes and upturned lines for mouths. Young children will get a kick out of the vivid art (and the funny touches, like a fish wearing glasses); feel helpful when they do things like write on both sides of the paper; and perhaps intuit why protecting the environment is a good thing, if not exactly making the connection between saving paper and saving trees. Preschool-Grade 1. --Ilene Cooper

Great message!
5 Stars
Great message!
I absolutely adore this book for a couple of reasons. First I love the message being taught. It is important to teach kids at a young age to not litter, and take care of the world we live in. Each page features bold colors and a simple, to the point message. This book is an easy read with toddlers. Lines are short enough to hold their attention. We have a few Todd Parr books, but this is one of our favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smash hit with preschool & kindergarten kids!
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2012

Another fantastic book from popular children's author Todd Parr. His unique style of colorful illustrations and simple text are a smash hit with preschool and kindergarten audiences every time. This is the perfect book to read to your preschool or kindergarten class or child on Earth Day. Each page highlights one way young children can help make the world a better place followed by a "because" statement. Adding because statements makes the message in this book even more powerful. It's not about just telling kids to do something, but also giving them the reasons why it's important; therefore it becomes more meaningful to them. Parr also has a great sense of humor and knows his audience well as evidenced by the mention of underwear in the detachable poster that is included on the last page of the book. The Earth Book is sure to become a favorite with your child or class as they squeal with delight at the very thought of putting their underwear in the refrigerator!

Oh how I love this book! It's not too far to the hippie side or to the first world priveledge side. It's right in the middle, perfect for kids, telling them to be good stewards of their environment in small and big ways. The pictures are interesting and my kids were "reading" it to me after a few times. I got this as a fun and inexpensive retirement gift for a friend who was eager to go on his next adventure across the world.

4.0 out of 5 stars if you're particular like me you might care
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2017
Verified Purchase
Cuuuuute! I have a few small bones to pick, if you're particular like me you might care.

1) I don't like the line about eating everything on your plate- I don't think that's an awfully healthy way to look at food. I do like that it says to save your leftovers. We'll focus on that part when we read it.

2) I wish that the bit about water conservation had a justification that was a little more direct- saving water is not really about keeping the ocean blue. Everything else seems to be much more directly connected, and I feel the author could have done a little bit better on that particular bit.

Really these are small complaints, we'll definitely keep the book. I think it does an excellent job of helping kids realized that they can do a lot to help take care of the earth, and my son LOVES the pictures.

Why is it difficult to find recycled paper books? There are a few that can be found, then the list drops off. I like not just reading about how to take care of the earth, I want that product to have already done it. This book is colorful and lively, our two year old likes it.

Ótimo livro de um excelente escritor, porém não se confundam...

Esse não é o "The Earth Book" e sim o "I Love The Earth" que é uma adaptação que contém somente partes do livro "The Earth Book".

Mas não deixa de ser bom também além dessa diferença que não me atentei na hora da compra.
